“…the watershed for the modern short story began in 1878 with […] Stevenson’s ‘A Lodging for the Night’, with Allen going so far as to claim that the change to the specifically modern short story can be precisely dated at that point.”

Annie – who had no children of her own – passed the birthday on to her niece, the Irish author Anita Leslie-King, who got much enjoyment from it, & who in turn left it to her granddaughter. Happy #RLSDay Heather Finn!

Sadly for POTUS, Annie kept up her part of the bargain, celebrating the gifted birthday with appropriate enthusiasm every 13 November. And although it carries her true date of birth, her tombstone bears the name “Anne Louisa Ide”

Part of the deal was that Annie should add “Louisa” to her name (“at least in private”) & celebrate “by the sporting of fine raiment, eating of rich meats & receipt of gifts, compliments & copies of verse” – otherwise all rights to the birthday would revert to the President of the USA
